Re: icecat 3.0.4 floating point exception on debian 4.0

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hi Karl,

the best way to use IceCat under Ubuntu and Debian is to use directly
the .deb package.
I don't know what is causing that problem but the .deb package is
working well without any problem on my Debian system.

Please add this repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/debian deltah-icecat universe main
deb-src http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/debian deltah-icecat  universe main
